Back around in July of this year, I made this in Krita, which would turn out to be a contest submission for featured calendar art.
I’m pretty proud of how this came out, it started out as this simple random sketch on Krita that would turn into this fully fledged digital painting. It’s not Sonic stuff that some of ya were probably anticipating but hope you like nonetheless.
Currently logged into this blog on a classroom Chromebook, my advisor allowed us to have some free time for a little bit. I haven’t been able to ssh into my laptop at home, I think the school network admin disabled connecting to other servers via ssh on port 22, might need to change the port at home so I can bypass the block.
Also today was picture day and I forgot to shave… well shucks. Oh well, can’t blame myself since my throat was extremely sore again today, doing better now though!
Update: Just returned from lunch and holy molly was that really good, I think I was really hungry, still a bit hungry even. The lunch items I had were beef taco, refried beans, fries, and a banana; all so incredibly delicious, makes me wonder what they serve in the mornings!
I thought I’d share these sketches I’ve made during school, considering I’m gonna be out for rest of the week due to Strep throat, so I thought might as well!
Also context on why I’m out from school temporarily; my mamí got emailed from the school, notifying her that I’ve been in direct contact with a student who tested positive for Covid. Thankfully I already have all my Covid shots plus boosters, but I did notice my throat got sore yesterday and the other day. Went to a walk in clinic today to get my test for Covid, which turned out to be negative thank goodness, but they were seeing something in my throat and decided to test for Strep. Lo and behold, I was positive for strep, which really stinks, but thankfully I’ll be able to return to school on Monday with the help of antibiotics I got prescribed.
Wish me luck and best of wishes to all of ya! 😉
Didn’t get it done today, but we did get a callback stating we’re able to go, yay!
Btw, there was this really nice girl, about my age, who let me have a seat next to her while waiting for the counselor to see me and mami, which really made my day. She was super cute too, should’ve gotten her name, but I hope to see her again in school, looking forward to doing something for her in return! 💚
It sounds possibly fun and stressful at the same time…
There’s lots of effing complicated factors about why, but the main reason is back in 2020, the school attempted to make me go to in person learning, since I was doing remote and was behind, plus the year was 2020, Covid was at a high peak where they were. There was no way I was going to put myself in danger of Covid then, there weren’t even vaccines yet for my age; because even if I wore a mask, everyone was likely to go maskless, since my state’s idiotic governor thought it should “be the parents’ decision to let their child have a mask or not”, even though the CDC heavily stated everyone needs to. It was then my family decided to go through an online school in order to avoid this risk, which worked out okay, honestly I was lagging behind a bit, but was able to obtain a good GPA still thankfully.
Now that I’m out of that, we thought I could maybe go back to public now that Covid is somewhat eased up, I feel much more safer now that I got the vaccine (thank goodness for them). The only sort of problem was that the school told us I couldn’t come back, but would later learn that was complete BS, as my psychologist informed that it’s in fact illegal for a school to tell you that or reject you.
There’s just a lot of fear I’m having about going back recently, and I was more positively looking at it a few months back, mostly uncertainty I would describe it as. I feel that if I go off and attempt to list reasons of why, I’d probably type garbled nonsense, so I’ll leave at uncertainty. It feels like the clock is ticking to my breaking point, it just feels like odds are pressing against me at the hardest pressure, a lot of them being personal.
Maybe I’m just too fearful, might not be too bad, going to do my best nonetheless.
The WIP featured here was done in GIMP, I figured I try it for a change, after all, it has a good rep with artists, as far as I know.
This also is from the perspective of 3 days ago, since I didn’t finish this post in time.
Today was unexpected for me in a way, I’m gonna recap this as best as I can, soooooo here goes!
My Mami was asleep for the most of the day, I played a slot machine like game on the stereo system, and spent most of the day on art!
Although I didn’t necessarily plan out the day, my art became the main focus on it’s own. It started off with this painting in Krita I did, which I’m keeping a surprise hehe, intended as an entry for a calendar feature photo. It’s been in the works for mostly this week and last, with it being on the back burner for about a month, with the near end result looking incredibly pretty.
But as for that piece, I will reveal that as a surprise if it makes it, if not, then you’ll see it here most definitely. However, I do present to you a WIP of Furdy’s Maya the Mako Shark, as seen above. In this, you can see Maya rocking a pair of boxing gloves, a sports bra, and sports shorts.
So all in all, it’s very cool how today led me to my art, hope you enjoy! 😉
My grandpa went to the airport a couple weeks ago, with his goal set on visiting some family members back in Mexico, thus I am the title as of now for approximately two weeks. My main responsibility is to take care of the animals (including the cats, dogs, horse, and chickens), there’s probably lots more to list, but that’s the major one.
I feel that I got this down, that I can do everything with comfort, without anxiety of getting it wrong. To help myself out, I took a video recording of my grandpa demonstrating how to feed the animals, serving as a reference.
For the most part, I’ve been on point, but a there’s a few days where I got up late though. However I’m going to correct upon it via setting multiple alarms for whenever I happen to oversleep a little. Fingers crossed that it works out!
Along side that, I picked up inspiration the other day to record myself feeding the animals outside, did it once, but was rather nice! I appreciated how I looked on video, not in a selfish way, I looked great. That also reminds me how I lost weight over these weeks, like a crazy ton, it completely flew by me and didn’t noticed until my godmother and mami pointed out.
I got this yo!
A close friend of mine made these amazing art pieces just recently and wow are these artworks amazing! Rayjen, if you’re reading this, I want you to know that you’re an amazing pal and your art is awesome as always dude! Btw, I got inspired by your tweet below and gave it my own spin, you did amazing on that pose and facial expression!
Something I want to do, but haven’t been really able to do yet, same kinda goes for my journal entries. Yep, that’s right, I’m getting straight up meta right now, and I’m not talking about the company. To put it short, I want share more insightful posts in the future, although I’m fully aware I’m not completely obligated to do longer posts since no one isn’t controlling me.
That’ll be all for now, thanks for readin’! 😉
